Agreeing with every single word you wrote. It's like the art looks like the story idk how to explain it.
I AGREEEEEEEE. Noir aura kind of art style is my favourite art style for coloured Manhwas and Shutline was THE Manhwa that made me fall in love with it ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
The artstyle is definitely unique but it's not ugly at all. I just love the concept and story of this BL so idk why it matters sm to them, to the point that they feel the need to complain about the art in comments section, when they could literally just drop it instead.
Wait, who complained about the art style? I'm a huge fan of this BL and I'm on every platform following its news & and I've never came across the art's bashing. People however were mostly complaining about Jake's physique and hairstyle calling him blond Eminem and ugly and other negative names. Some of them even asked the author to change his hairstyle many times, threatening to stop reading the BL otherwise lol, the audacity of these foks! Aren't you confusing the complaints about Jake's physique with the overall art of this BL? From what I know, the art style has always been praised and even the ones who complained about Jake's being ugly ended up falling for him lile crazy
noo i wish! there really are quite a few out there that complain about the art style in general
i mean you’re right, jake does get the most flack esp since his buzzcut and his pale skin are an acquired taste lol (could not be me though i found him hot since the beginning! but i digress). there are actually a lot of things about the character design that people complain about: their broad bodies, the way their faces and chins are drawn, shin’s asymmetrical eyes, etc… people therefore find the characters ugly (which still isn’t true btw i will defend their designs with my life) and ultimately conclude that the art style is ugly as a whole and ignore the intricate details (esp in lighting!!!) and beautiful composition the artist gives us to accompany and underline the superb storytelling. idk maybe we’re both just moving in different spaces but i see complaints quite frequently and it’s honestly so frustrating to me
That's crazy!! I've never thought people will have bad things to say about the art in general. To me every single panel is literally a masterpiece. And Im glad the artist picked a unique style for Jake. It shows how original and bold she is. Although I do understand it's not to everybody's taste, I'll never get how people pick a character's physique over a plot and the overall dynamic of the protagonists. Bunch of immature folks most likely. It's just sad.
honestly i was surprised when i saw so many people hating on the art style on here and on other sites as well because when i first started the series, i was honestly so in love with the whole atmosphere the author created. it’s like watching a noir movie unfold in film stills. the art style isn’t as clean cut and sleek as in other series but it works so much for this type of story imo. the characters aren’t meant to be polished and perfect. they’re rough around the edges, flawed and conventionally masculine which works just perfectly with this kind of art style.
i personally love the author’s art and it kind of frustrates me to see so many people complain about it being bad or ugly when it’s literally not. i clearly remember reading the first chapter when it got published and being in awe with how cool the manhwa looks, how different it was from other series..
idk man we’re all in the same boat here, at the end of the day we just wanna see two dudes getting it on for free. so if you’re into yaoi because of the bishounen that’s great! go off!!! that’s totally valid! but trashing on art styles because it differs from what you’re usually used to is honestly not only annoying but also disrespectful as hell. don’t disrespect the work creators put into it just because it doesn’t match your own individual taste that you don’t even have to consume let alone pay for. it really can’t be that hard.
